Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the rationale: the emphatic adjective ischyros {ἰσχυρὸς | is-chy-rós} ‘mighty’ applies to the title kyrios theos {κύριος ὁ θεὸς | ký-ri-os ho the-ós}, and the articular aorist participle ho krinas {ὁ κρίνας | ho krí-nas} ‘the one who has judged’ presents God as the sovereign Judge executing decisive retribution. English renderings maintain the cause–result structure, the sudden timeframe, and the force of the passive, while turning the participle into a relative clause for clarity.
Root and etymology
kyrkappa–upsilon–rho
“lord, master, one having authority”
In context — Revelation 18:8
For this reason, in one day her plagues will come—death, and mourning, and famine—and she will be burned up with fire, for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.
